BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel addresses his lies about the assassination of Charlie Kirk that resulted in him being ripped off air last week in his return to late night.
Kimmel: "I have to stand up to it. I've been hearing a lot about what I need to say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't think what I have to say is gonna make much of a difference. If you like me, you like me. If you don’t, you don’t. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind, but I do want to make something clear because it's important to me as a human, and that is you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man."
[Applause]
Kimmel: "I don't think there's anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and I meant it. I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some, that felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I’d have felt the same way. I have many friends and family members on the other side who I love and remain close to, even though we don't agree on politics at all."
Kimmel: "I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn't, ever."
[Applause]
Kimmel: "And also, selfishly, I am a person who gets a lot of threats. I get many ugly and scary threats against my life, my wife, my kids, my coworkers, because of what I choose to say. And I know those threats don't come from the kind of people on the right who I know and love. So that’s what I wanted to say on that subject. But I don't want to make this about me because—and I know this is what people say when they make things about them—but I really don’t… This show, this show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."
[Applause]
Sinclair and Nexstar, who own nearly 25% of local ABC stations, are not airing tonight’s show.

I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
